Syracuse, NY -- As Jenna Hinman, the Fort Drum mother who is battling a rare, life-threatening cancer, continues to fight, the family celebrates another milestone.

U.S. Army Sgt. Brandon Hinman and Jenna Hinman's twin daughters, Kinleigh Ann Hinman and Azlynn Mary Hinman, were discharged today from the neonatal intensive care unit at Crouse Hospital, according to the Prayers for Jenna Facebook page.

The 6-week-old girls will be staying at Jenna Hinman's parent's home. Jenna Hinman's childhood bedroom has been turned into a nursery for the girls.

"Brandon continues to remain dedicated to his wife and baby girls and will now be splitting his time between staying with Jenna in the ICU at Crouse Hospital and caring for the girls at Jenna's parents house, which is 40 minutes away," according to the Facebook post. "Leaving Jenna for the girls and vice versa is incredibly difficult and emotionally taxing. We all anxiously yet patiently (awaiting) the day that this new family is all together again -- healthy and whole."
